Hi Eric,

* Regarding mtu, as the comment you added to sruct net_device
  some time ago mentions, mtu is written in many places.

  I'm wondering if, in particular wrt ndo_change_mtu implementations,
  if some it is appropriate to add WRITE_ONCE() annotations.

* Likewise, is it appropriate to add WRITE_ONCE() to dev_set_group() ?
